A fundamental tenet of American democracy is to settle our differences at the ballot box.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The groups that signed onto the statement included: We the Veterans, AmVets, Veterans of Foreign Wars, National Military Family Association, Student Veterans of America, Blue Star Families, More Perfect Union, Elizabeth Dole Foundation, Mission Role Call, Combined Arms, Military Veterans In Journalism, Military Family Advisory Network, Veterans for All Voters, National Security Leaders for America, The Chamberlain Network, Disabled Veteran Empowerment Network, Millions of Conversations, Vet Voice Foundation and VetsForward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRegardless of individual politics, an attack on any candidate for office, elected official or election official is an attack on all of us,\u201d they said. \u201cIt is an attack on the system of self-government that our men and women in uniform have served and sacrificed to protect.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, tried to assassinate Trump during a rally Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania, the FBI confirmed. Trump said on social media the upper part of his right ear was pierced in the shooting. Two spectators were critically injured, and Corey Comperatore, a former fire chief, was killed. Secret Service agents fatally shot the gunman, who was perched on top of a nearby roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of Monday, <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-assassination-attempt-thomas-matthew-crooks-shooter-881581c46c07025898027143fc9132e5\">Crooks\u2019 motive<\/a> remained a mystery, with investigators saying they believe he acted alone. President Joe Biden ordered an independent <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/secret-service-trump-rally-4e3415b1461f5acefbc8e1fadad0375b\">security review<\/a> of the attack, which prompted questions about how Crooks was able to <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/live\/election-biden-trump-campaign-updates-07-13-2024\">open fire<\/a> near the campaign event. The FBI was investigating <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-assassination-attempt-timeline-59e2f4fcdf8379aa2cb5f141825d60a3\">the shooting<\/a> as a potential act of domestic terrorism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lack of a clear motive prompted conspiracy theories to flourish online immediately following the attack and in the days after. In an address Sunday, Biden urged the public to \u201clet the FBI do their job\u201d and not make assumptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A week before the assassination attempt, the Department of Homeland Security <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2024\/07\/03\/toxic-politics-increase-terrorism-extremism-risk-dhs-official-says\/\" target=\"_blank\">counterterrorism coordinator warned<\/a> that a \u201ctoxic political environment\u201d has made the United States more vulnerable to acts of violence that threaten the country\u2019s social fabric. Nicholas Rasmussen blamed prominent voices on both sides of the political aisle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe toxic political environment in which we live as Americans right now, and the existentialist ways in which voices in our public square frame our politics \u2014 not only zero sum terms, but the worst kind of zero sum terms \u2014 all of that leaves us far more vulnerable than ever to targeted violence here,\u201d Rasmussen said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>The Associated Press contributed to this report.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>This story was produced in partnership with <\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mvj.network\/\"><i>Military Veterans in Journalism<\/i><\/a><i>.
